characteristics’ and full capitalism, but the toughest is between
conscience and conformity. A poet by training and inclination, Chen Cao has instead been posted to the police, where he has risen to head Shanghai's Special Cases Bureau. Chen Cao series are not only
intricate whodunnits or engaging police procedurals or a picture of a changing China, and its
modern-day faultlines but the very soul of the country as revealed in its social mores and interactions, its cuisine and above all, in its poetry. Savour the journey!

Title: Babur: Conqueror of Hindustan
Author: Royina Grewal
Publisher: Rupa Publications
Price: Rs 395
A popular hero across Iran and Central Asia, Babur has
unfortunately not earned much approbation in his adopted
country despite finding there a long-lasting empire. It is not that he is a dour, unprepossessing character shrouded in obscurity - he was the first Indian ruler to pen an autobiography. What it misses is just a longer author’s note. As an imaginative record of a seminal period of Indian history, this even surpasses Alex Rutherford's "Raiders from the North".
